Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

hi guys. long time lurker here coming out of the wood works. i was reading over this thread (got all the way to pg120) and im curious about stinks nutrients formula. right now im running lucas formula wit GH nutrients in a ebb and flow table sog style with hydroton and i can barely make it to 1200ppm before i flush with the strain Purps. Now with stinks setup he takes a newly rooted clone and throws it in the veg setup starting with 1500ppm and later bringing it up to 2000ppm by the second week. Is this because of the organic nutrients he is using? is it because im in an ebb and flow setup with tables? i would just be a lil nervous putting my clones in a 1500ppm mixture.
I do recommend you go to stinkbuddies.com and check the forums out over there guys are running all kinds of strains and that is what this boils down to.

You can't just dump 1500PPM into your veg/new clone plants at all. If you have some previous data to work with using this straing then that is ok but otherwise you will want to inch it up. For instance I started at 300PPM and I am at 1950PPM on my veg plants from seed finally right now My leafs never burnt so next time around I will ramp it up. But you can't just blindingly plug in 1500PPM with a new strain, you have to learn it. 300PPM to start, take it to 500PPM watch for burning, take it to 800PPM watch for burning. If they burn back off the PPM big time and start busting it down by lessor values. This is what I am using I am not saying 300PPM for your clones won't kill them, just I didn't invest a lot on my stuff so I started at 300PPM and gave them all a good bitch slap to show them who is boss. :P

To be all the way honest I only added 300PPM to my cloner last night in anticipation of moving them to the veg. I did take my G13 clone and hit it with 1200PPM, then the veg system recently went to 1900PPM that G13 clone went with it. It is burning a little on the leaf tips, I am not a considerate guy with my bitches.

Hey dagobaker

I really hope you are right about res temps, I've been told by a few and read allot of info on this subject.
The following quote is very consistent to everything I heard and read...

" The optimal temperature of the nutrient solution should be in the range of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit."

I have been able to manage temps by simply putting 2 frozen 20oz Pepsi bottles in each res when they reach 75. This is done every afternoon for a week, temps are under control now. It works good, in an hour after placing the ice in the res temps drop 4 to 6 degrees. :bigjoint:


I sure as hell wouldn't run more than 72F and if I where to do so I would fill a res up with some nutes and throw in a root or two, let the pump and the airstones work and see how long it took before the obvious happened.

Optimal is not just slightly optimal too by the way 72F may not be that bad but 65F would be better because of the natural dissolved oxygen.

I don't believe you can run 80F res temps and be ok. Maybe with a lot of water circulation, airstones and then of course Chlorine or H202 might give you better results. Unless you are down for adding zymes to your res, but you are going to pay more to have less DO? Doesn't make sense, go for what works and keep the res temp in a good range. I am at 71-72F and did my third res change last night, mine don't even smell fishy just like plant roots and nothing else.

Dagobaker's grows are awesome and his results speak for theirselves but I won't be running 80F res temps.

It should have been sent to your email right away then you follow the link and you are on. Anyway from what I remember. Donations are optional, but I am sure appreciated, from what I remember joining is free and instant. Maybe it does have to be manually approved? If so then it will be a couple days because Stinkbud is away on personal matters so goes the rumor. :) He is away but he will be back in a few days from what I read.

Quick suggestion to keeping multiple reservoirs cool without buying 3 or4 chillers. It does require a AC system, but i hope most people with SBs system have one anyhow.

Basically all i do is tape a 4" duct to my AC vent. I run this duct down to my air pumps intake. Then the pump pumps the cold air into the reservoir via airstones. I also keep a fan on the air pumps to keep them cool.

Doing this keeps my water temps sub 70 when ambient room temp is about 75

Hey just wondering if anyone else has had trouble logging in to their Stinkbuddies.com account? I've been a member for over a month, and I always kept my settings on 'Always logged on'. Anyway, I posted on it for the first time today, and also logged out manually for (i think) the first time and now I can't log back in... All it says is There was an error and that I should check my cookies??? I didn't change anything with my cookies (don't even know how) and all i did differently was the two things mentioned above... My cookie settings are on 'always allow' so I don't know what else it could be...

Anyone have any ideas? My post was pretty important to me and I need to get back logged on to get those guys' advice on it...

PLEASE HELP!!!

not to jack thread, i fuckin love this thread and the info stinkbud linked up, i definately am going to try and areo grow in the near future, and this setup kinda simplified all the questions i had about my grow, so i got plans now, thanks bud!

and whulkamania you should quit while you are FAR behind, and not to go any farther.
You are the butt end joke of this site, liek 10-20 people have quotes from YOU and your stupid threads as they're signatures, like you are SO incredibly STUPID, that people have to show your stupidity on their own time because they feel the need to spread the word of how stupid you really are, and none of them know you! Just leave the site, no body here wants to talk to you, hear anything you have to say because your mindset is that of a child. Nobody wants to help you, or recieve anything that resembles help(in your case it would be a detrimental suggestion that ould perpetually turn someone into somewhat any fraction of a retard that you are, just leave the site, you are either some pathetic kid who brags about his lack of knowledge and abbundance of money to all, or you are a cop. So eat a dick and get teh fuck out of here, you provide nothing to this site, the people, and its quite obvious you will never provide anything to anyone else or society.

You are the epitome of a stupid impatient childish fool who thinks life is a fairytale and everything will work itself out, you have fucked up royally by doing what you said you have done, but your parents have fucked up even more royally for bringing you into this world. Do not post in this thread tellin stinkbud about feds, you cant even spell the word Fed abbreviates, dumbass. he knows 300x more than you in every aspect of growing and i assume life, as of the amazing view and character i have seen him display, this guy sounds like the last of a dying breed(compasionate humans). You suck ass whulkamania, your stupid as hell.

Drink the punch.

Sorry stinkbud didnt mean to jack your shit for a post, its just id rather post this once so nobody that reads this could possibly think whulkamania is actually in any way sane or a level minded man, although im sure hes 14 and in no way close to becoming a man in the next decade.

But yea man rep+++ for this whole blueprint of your setup. and man i dont know if your throwing them patients herbs for free, or if they pay you a fraction of street price(or store price w/e you at), but what you are doing for others is amazing bro, straight up.
U sound like a rambling idiot...shut the fuck up you pathetic moron.
